Hi all,
I'm very new to audio. I have a marantz mcr610 all-in-one media player, a hartung 2 x 8 OTL integrated amp and zu omen floorstanders, all barely a year old! Recently an aunt got wind of my new hobby, and gave me her old ariston RD80 TT. The stylus was broken, and the plinth survived a termite attack while in storage. I ordered a new denon 110 high output mc and a TC-760LC phono preamp just to test the waters. After replacing the belt, and several days of figuring out how to adjust the suspension, I finally got the TT working! though not as good as my digital set up, at least to my ears. I haven't gotten to room treatments yet as I will be moving out in a couple of years. I'll be tweaking auntie's RD80 for now until I get a better TT and phono preamp and for now....HELLO! :wave:
Oh BTW, I'm into R&B, jazz, 70s and 80s, and yes classical music whenever I'm in the mood!
